GRAVELY PRO TURN 452 REVIEW!! With Pics!

I was considering it when I purchased. The 28 efi is not enough for my 66" Super Z with bagger but then again the pumps on the 460 shouldn't be placing as high a demand on the engine as the SZ's pumps do.

I don't know if it's all due to the muffler or not but this Kaw is much noisier and sounds rougher. The power is smooth though. The 28 efi on my SZ has a lower tone to the exhaust note and it just sounds smoother. This may of course change slightly once the Kaw is fully broken in.

Every Kawi I've had has had a raspier sounding exhaust note than Kohlers. To me they (Kawi's) sound much more business like.

I can also tell by looking back to see how they're hanging and often reach back and feel them to see how firm they are.

I can't even believe this! Are you sure it wasn't a 100 or 200 series that you sat on with a non suspension seat or the common suspension seat? I've been on at least five major brands of mowers recently and none of them even came close to the padding of the seat let alone the suspension.

I didnt realize that, that was one of my least favorite things about my cub cadet tank.. That will impose a slight problem on some of my lawns where i already have problems with my lazer z hp

The seat will no doubt will be little higher. Some of this also depends how much air you have in it. I think there is about 4-6" of seat travel when airing up. I also think part of it may be an optical illusion due to the angle and the fence in the rear of the picture. Look at this thread of my 460 on my trailer with my Hustler Super Z. The SZs are known to be some of the lowest COG.

The center of gravity is very low but the seat is pretty high. I have found a few small tree's that I have to duck more to get under. The old lazer hp's sat VERY low. Lower than any mower I have ever seen and that's one of the things my dad loves about that old machine. What I don't like about that old lazer is how much of a biotch it is to work on. Everything is so compact and tightly packed it makes it very hard to get to things to fix them. You will find with the seat aired up it does sit about as high as the Tanks do.
